Does a Cloud of Strings Affect Shear Viscosity Bound?

Abstract

The Einstein AdS black brane with a cloud of strings background in context of massive gravity is introduced. There is a momentum dissipation on the boundary because of graviton mass on the bulk. The ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density is calculated for this solution. This value violates the KSS bound if we apply the Dirichlet boundary and regularity on the horizon conditions. Our result shows that this value is independent of the cloud of strings.
